What I Eat

September 21, 2017 By Brad Pilon

I’ve been asked to do a “day in the life of Brad” and track all of my eating, so I recorded 2 days of regular eating, then the two days surrounding a fast for you.

I’ll warn you right now that my diet is not overly exciting. In fact, I generally follow my own advice…

I fast twice per week, and eat around 100 grams of protein per day like in How Much Protein. I’m not trying to diet so my rough maintenance calorie intake is my height in centimeters multiplied by 15 (Eat Stop Eat Phase 2). I eat a lot of fruit, specifically berries (Good Belly, Bad Belly) and my workouts are Progressions three times per week (Progressions)…

 

Alright, let’s begin with Friday:

 

– FRIDAY –

7:15 AM –  Glass of water

7:30 AM – A half cup of raspberries and a half cup black berries with two tablespoons coconut milk (about two tablespoons) (2 g protein, 70 Calories)

8 AM – Three scoops protein powder, 1 cup water, 1 cup mango juice ( I normally have this later, but I had to go to a meeting and I knew there would be coffee at the meeting.) (30 g protein, 400 Calories)

9:15 AM – One espresso

9:45 AM – Another espresso

11:00 AM – 200 g watermelon (1 g protein, 60 Calories)

5:00 PM – Two chocolate dipped Oreos (2 g protein, 150 calories)

7:30 PM – Loaded sweet potato – 300 grams sweet potato, half cup black beans, two tablespoons avocado, two tablespoons Veganaise, Bajan hot sauce, garlic, green onions. 1 pint Guinness  (25 grams protein, 800 Calories)

10:00 PM – 1 cup soy milk, half cup pistachios (20 g protein, 370 Calories)

NOTES:

*Tuesday would look a lot like Friday…

*My non-fasting days are roughly 2,700 Calories, my fasting days would combine to be roughly 2,700, usually a little bit more.

*If I were trying to lose weight, I’d reduce my calorie intake to somewhere between 12-14x my height in centimeters, mostly by cutting the juice out of my shakes.
